Chapter 442: The System Determines the Market

(.) Zhou Liwen is in a good mood these days, although Nokia's resurrection from the dead has brought a strong opponent to the OR company from the perspective of smartphone manufacturers, but if you look farther, then what you see is completely different.

Supporting Nokia, Zhou Liwen on the one hand is the respect for the Nokia brand, for a person who used mobile phones relatively early, Nokia mobile phones are a history that can hardly be bypassed in this generation. Unlike today's young people, Zhou Liwen, or people who are older than Zhou Liwen, almost all of them have used Nokia's mobile phones, and they still remember the scene of playing snake with Nokia mobile phones in their spare time. Such a brand finally came to an abrupt end, although there were reasons for Nokia itself, but there was also the result of Microsoft's deliberate stabbing in the back.

On the other hand, Zhou Liwen is also very clear that with the exhibition of smart phones, the threshold for entering the smart phone manufacturing industry will be lower and lower. As before, first Nokia, and then OR companies were born, and the scene of dominating the entire mobile phone industry is almost rare. Although OR has now regained the No. 1 position in the world, the number of sales has actually begun to decrease compared to the total sales volume of the previous two years.

At present, although the world smartphone market remains at a large amount, as the market gradually becomes saturated, the competition among smartphone manufacturers will become more intense. In addition, the technology of smart phones has been improved day by day, and with the emergence of newer and more powerful electronic technologies, its structure has become more and more simple.

This is similar to the history of the personal computer exhibition, when the first IHNR was born, the shock and strong curiosity given to consumers about computers for personal use was obvious. With the subsequent 6 renewals, coupled with the emergence of compatible machines, personal computers have also come down from the altar of complete high-tech, and have become ordinary electrical appliances for people's work and families.

This time is only about ten years, and the technology at the beginning is still a little backward compared with the present. According to the exhibition of science and technology, as science and technology develop faster and faster, the upgrading time of its electronic products will be shorter. To put it mildly, if it weren't for the tacit control of smartphone function upgrades by major smartphone manufacturers, coupled with the squeezing of market potential and the demand for profits, perhaps it would have been possible to double the degree of renewal.

Even so, the current manufacture of smartphones is not as high-tech as it once was. For example, in addition to smartphone brands, there are now a large number of copycat mobile phone manufacturers. These small companies, factories, or even enlarged family franciums, can easily build a functional smartphone by relying only on the modules provided by some component factories and chip factories, and then mold a chassis with handwriting.

Of course, there is still a difference between copycat mobile phones and brand mobile phones, and the first copycat mobile phones use the Android system without exception, because only the openness and ease of copying and modification of the Android system can become the choice of copycat mobile phones. Another point is the quality, repair and after-sales service of copycat mobile phones, which of course cannot be guaranteed. But the problem is that it is cheap, and it can even accept customization, which still has a great impact on the low-end market.

Zhou Liwen can clearly see that it is precisely for this reason that the smartphone market will not be calm in the future, but will become more and more intense. Nokia's salted fish turnaround is just the beginning, not the end. And the copycat mobile phone factory is not exactly the idea of making a copycat machine for a lifetime, of course, they also have their own entrepreneurial intentions. For example, Xiaomi, Hammer, etc. in the previous life, these mobile phones can also belong to copycat mobile phones in a sense, but they have been incorporated and appear as brand mobile phones.

This is the situation that Zhou Liwen encountered, the faster the technology exhibition of smartphones, the lower the threshold. Even if there are no mobile phones such as Xiaomi and Hammer at that time, there may be brands such as barley and axe. Capital is all about chasing profits, and how much benefit is contained in the fat of smartphones, people who understand it can certainly see that it is absolutely impossible for them to give up chasing.

Although the number of OR smartphones sold has decreased overall, the company's profits have actually increased. The key point is the reduction of basic costs and the expansion of profit margins brought about by the exhibition of new technologies. But just satisfied with this, Zhou Liwen is absolutely impossible, the so-called high place is unbearable, when the OR company stood in the position of the world's No. 1 smartphone manufacturer, Zhou Liwen felt unprecedented pressure, and he was most worried that maybe one day he made a mistake in a decision, resulting in OR losing the market he mastered, and it would fall like Nokia at the beginning.

In order to solve this problem, Zhou Liwen can only choose another path. And this road is simple and simple, difficult and difficult, and the core part of this road is actually the operating system of the smartphone.

Only by grasping the operating system of smart phones and controlling the exhibition of the smart phone industry at a high level can Zhou Liwen's company last for a long time. In other words, even if the OR company does not open new smartphones in the future, or even directly withdraws from the smartphone manufacturing industry, then Zhou Liwen can still call the wind and rain in this industry just by mastering the smartphone operating system and APP app store platform.

However, in order to do this, although the share of mobile phones in smartphones is relatively high, it has not reached the point of covering the sky with one hand. After all, the two major operating systems of smartphones before, IOE and Android systems have their own merits, in terms of system operation convenience and stability, of course, the IOB system is strong, and it can be completely open to the system and easy to copy and modify, etc., for manufacturers, of course, it is the Android system.

Originally, Zhou Liwen almost achieved his goal. At the beginning, it joined forces with Samsung and pulled Samsung mobile phones into the ranks of IOB systems, which almost made the IOB system account for two-thirds of the strength of the smartphone industry. But with the subsequent face-turning with Samsung Group, after the other party switched to the Android system, Zhou Liwen lost a strong ally, but brought an opponent to the IOB system.

In response to this situation, Zhou Liwen immediately changed his strategy and focused on Nokia's Symbian system. From the technical aspect, he asked people to study the Symbian system, to be honest, if it weren't for Nokia's self-defeating martial arts, the Symbian system is a very good smartphone operating system, its stability is not worse than the IOB system, and it is also unique.

Of course, it is not possible to cooperate directly with Nokia, if Nokia has such a mentality and generosity, then they will not go to the previous step and become exhausted. Zhou Liwen joined forces with Nokia through Bell and established the Bell-Nokia Joint Company, which controlled the operation of the Symbian system in this way. Although it is not yet ownership, the structure of the joint company shows that the ultimate ownership is already a certainty. With the two major operating systems for the Android system alliance, Zhou Liwen has a very big grasp of success. Now Zhou Liwen has been pulling Apple into the IOB camp, and second, he has brought LGH into the new Symbian system camp through United Company. The addition of these two mobile phone manufacturers made Zhou Liwen's chips much heavier all of a sudden.

"Very good result, congratulations to you, Mr. Bell." In his New York office, Zhou Liwen met with Bell, president of Bell Electronics Technology Group and president of Bell-Nokia Consortium, who had just flown in from South Korea. In the face of this former senior staff member of Siemens, later entrepreneur, and now the actual operator of the two major companies, Zhou Liwen warmly received him like an old friend.

"It's our collective achievement, isn't it? bavc。 Bell smiled with a red face, and deliberately squeezed Zhou Liwen, Zhou Liwen suddenly laughed and nodded.

These days, Bell is in high spirits. The success of Nokia's new NN smartphone has increased his influence at Nokia. At the beginning, Bell Electronics...

The establishment of a joint company by the technology group and Nokia is just a desperate choice for Nokia, but who would have imagined that in just over half a year, the new Symbian system brought out by the new joint company not only solves the long-standing problem of Nokia, but also makes Nokia reborn in the smartphone industry.

Now, Nokia's top management is already considering bringing the joint company, Bell, to Nokia's board of directors as a key partner. At the same time, O'Lellah rarely broke off the cooperation with Microsoft with a tough attitude, and completely transferred the resources and financial support originally given to Microsoft to the joint company.

This time, the signing of an agreement between the United Company and LG Group to bring LG into the New Symbian System Alliance is not only a commercial success, but also a significant benefit for the United Company through the licensing of operating systems.

The high-spirited Bell not only got the deal he needed during his trip to South Korea, but was also warmly welcomed by LG Group. In addition, coupled with the good news that he is about to enter the board of directors of Nokia, the previously unknown Bell can be said to have achieved fame, which is the result that he had always dreamed of when he resigned from Siemens to start a business, who would have thought that it would come so quickly.
